Dewey Defeats Truman!

Great work, team. We dug in our heels and they finally relented.

Thanks everyone, you all deserve a beer or beverage of your choice!

T-Mobile should have done this immediately after they started getting complaints. I guess better late then never.

I am using my phone number as my username and entering my pass, tried without also rebooted by taking battery out. Hotviewer, and MicroSky still do not work. I called t-Mobile they said everything is configured correctly on there side and that I am not suppose to enter a user/pass???

[sempai]

you're not.

just put wap.voicestream.com in as the APN and save it. done.

Still get WAP connection failed...in Hotviewer...does it work for you? Do they just not have me setup correctly? Is there a free program to test the 7100t?

So I wonder if T-Mobile's HTTP blocking is my problem...

I have been trying to get WebViewer working on my Nokia 6100 on the T-Mobile USA network. I want to be sure it works well enough for me before I purchase the software and/or pay for net service from T-Mobile.

This is what I did... I don't have GPRS service. In other words, I don't subscribe to t-zones unlimited or T-Mobile Internet. To connect, I use GSM data as the data bearer with the following configuration:

Session mode: Temporary
Connection security: off
dial-up number: +1 913 244 0821
IP address: 10.168.200.50
Authentication type: Normal
Data call type: ISDN
Data call speed: 9600
Login type: Automatic
User name: wap
Password: <blank>

At first, it seems to work. I can connect to www.google.com (loads images and all!). However, if I try to click on any links or go to any other URL, I get an error (after saying "contacting server" for a LONG time):

"Could not connect to server"

Anyone know what the problem could be? It seems like it is the port blocking problem, but since www.google.com works fine, I'm not sure if that's it. If it is the port blocking problem, why would google work? Do you think t-zones unlimited would fix the problem? (I don't think customer service would understand that I want T-Mobile Internet for a Nokia 6100... not a smartphone or even a T-Mobile supported phone.)

Any direction would be helpful... Thanks!
